Photo of 2 Objects and Enlargement of Each of the Objects.

Max, North Dakota is Near Minot Air Force Base.

Date of Sighting: April 4, 2009
Time of Sighting: About 12:30 PM CDT
Location of Sighting: Max, North Dakota

Description: A friend and I were out taking some promo pictures for my band, and when I happened to be editing the photos I noticed these objects in the pictures. The two pictures were taken within one second of each other. In the one picture there is only the one object. In the second one there were two of them. It was an extremely windy that day around 35 mph and very cloudy. At first I thought they were maybe black birds, but then at the time these were taken, there are no black birds up here that early. The friend that took the pictures, did not remember seeing anything in the background at the time. Judging by the size of these objects and the distance away they had to be they would be too large to be birds anyway. These pictures were taken directly due west. Just to have it noted this is the second set of pictures I have submitted to this site. Just keep in mind I live only 4 miles north from a high security USAF (U.S. Air Force) missile defense substation. I wish I could have got a better shot of these objects. When I have blown them up the best I can they appear to have a semi circular ring around them. These are maybe nothing at all, but then like I said we don't get birds up here that large this early in the season.

Additional Information Provided by Witness: Hi William. I just wanted to let you know that I just noticed something about the two pictures I sent you. The objects in question ARE in both pictures. They were shot like I said within 1 to 2 seconds of each other, but notice how far apart they are in the one picture and then in the next they are closer together and at different altitudes. As a reference point notice were I was standing in both pictures. I never moved from that spot. I don't think even birds can travel that fast in 1 second. I am looking at another picture that was taken before the clouds moved in and it appears I might have got one of the objects in that picture as well I'll send you one after I take a better look at it. I am not really sure how far away these things were, but I am guessing about 1 to 2 miles. I always seem to get these pictures when it is cloudy. (If you remember the one I sent you in front of the sun?)

More Comments by Witness: The person that is my friend and a pilot from the USAF (U.S. Air Force) said that is no way that the object would be birds. They were too far away and he has seen stuff like this on radar.  

Note: The second photo with enlargements is shown in this report above. The objects appear to have "tentacles" or some sort of protrusion when enlarged. The witness presented a good point that catching birds on a very wind day may be less likely. This same witness has presented good photos to UFOs Northwest before. Of course as he stated he lives within a few miles of a U.S. Air Force Missile site.
